1. Gisele Bundchen – earned $44 million in 2015
And number one on the highest paid models list is none other than Brazilian goddess Gisele Bündchen.
After ‘heroin chic’s popularity in the 1990s, Gisele and some of her fellow Brazilian models were praised for “The Return of the Sexy Model”, in the words of Vogue. With her unbelievable body and striking features, Gisele continues to earn head and shoulders above her contemporaries and younger counterparts.
After modelling for Victoria’s Secret in 2000, her career really took off, and she’s opened for Dolce & Gabbana numerous times. Gisele has appeared in 350 ad campaigns and 1,200 magazine covers throughout her career.
